Availability Issues in Wireless Visual Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless visual sensor networks have been considered for a large set of monitoring applications related with surveillance, tracking and multipurpose visual monitoring. When sensors are deployed over a monitored field, permanent faults may happen during the network lifetime, reducing the monitoring quality or rendering parts or the entire network unavailable. In a different way from scalar sensor networks, camera-enabled sensors collect information following a directional sensing model, which changes the notions of vicinity and redundancy. Moreover, visual source nodes may have different relevancies for the applications, according to the monitoring requirements and cameras' poses. In this paper we discuss the most relevant availability issues related to wireless visual sensor networks, addressing availability evaluation and enhancement. Such discussions are valuable when designing, deploying and managing wireless visual sensor networks, bringing significant contributions to these networks.

Cryptography in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks: A Survey and Research Directions

“…As there are significant differences between the type of sensed and transmitted data, cryptography may be optimized to achieve higher performance according to the media type. In fact, WMSNs may sense and transmit images, video, audio and scalar data, following a query-based, a time-based or an event-based paradigm [41]. Moreover, real-time transmissions may be required, also adding complexity to multimedia cryptography.…”

Hybrid subnet-based node failure recovery formal procedure in wireless sensor and actor networks

“…In this way, the recovery process is completed by cascading, that is, backup B of A is moved to position of A and newly backup of B is moved to position of B (lines [34][35][36][37][38][39]. If backup node B is critical and its backup is other than its primary, then it notifies to its backup and moves to position of its primary by cascading (lines [40][41][42][43] [34][35][36][37][38][39]. If the backup is critical and its backup is other than its primary, then the recovery procedure takes time NK (lines [40][41][42][43].…”
